NSF EHR Townhall – Data Science in Education

The National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) invites you to participate in a virtual town hall meeting to stimulate a national conversation on the topic of Data Science in Education. Each day, there is more accessible data than there was the day before, and a professional skillset is emerging to meet the needs of a dynamically growing industry. This town hall meeting will explore Data Science and its impact across all levels of education from K-12 through higher education, including community colleges, minority serving institutions, and graduate institutions.

With speakers and open discussions, we will explore:

Data Science research across disciplines and fields
Ethical practices and approaches to Data Science
Teaching and Learning Data Science
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in a ‘Data Science for All’ movement

The outcomes of this meeting will include a white paper that will capture the themes from these topics which can be used to inform future work in the field.

PRE-REGISTER

A Zoom meeting link and password will be sent to you after your registration is confirmed.

Hosted by all four NSF EHR divisions: DGE, DRL, DUE, and HRD

An Unapologetically Engaged Approach to Racial Justice Research in Schools and Communities Webinar

Dr. Malik Henfield will discuss his unapologetic approach to school- and community-based research and the direct/indirect implications of this work for those of us in higher education settings. His community engagement research with schools (e.g., Atlanta Public School District, Baltimore City Public School District, Chicago Public Schools, Oakland Unified School District, San Francisco Unified School District, and more) is a hallmark of his scholarship. He will address the ways his scholarly approach is vital to an unapologetic and racially just approach to research and supporting the next generation of racial justice scholars.

This webinar series engages audiences in thinking about and reflecting on what it means to conduct educational research from a standpoint that honors Black lives in the research process, while also disrupting racism and white supremacy. Given the unprecedented moment we are all experiencing, we are committed to shifting the landscape of qualitative research and using this research to shift our sociopolitical context toward racial equity and justice.
